Trust me. You’ll thank me for that advice one day.

I love making chocolate bark. It goes back to my childhood. My dad loved bark, he would go cuckoo for it at Christmastime. Anyone who asked what dad wanted for Christmas was told Laura Secord Bark.

My dad was hard to buy for so we all took his shopping advice and he would end up with piles and piles of bark. He would then hoard the bark so it would last all year long.

Since I was also a huge chocolate bark fan I learned the only way to pry dad away from the Laura Secord was to impress him with other homemade variations.

I have so many amazing memories that revolve around chocolate bark. It always put a smile on my dad’s face, and let’s just say that was not an easy thing to do. So I take great joy in the fact that my chocolate treats made my dad smile.

Now every time I make them they make me smile too, and think about my dad. And his giant love of all things chocolate.

So live it up a little. Make this on the weekend for no other reason than you want to indulge a little bit.

In a microwave safe bowl melt the milk chocolate chips on medium heat for about 1 minute, check the chocolate by stirring it, if not melted you can turn on again for 30 seconds. Check and stir again. Repeat if necessary. The chocolate should be smooth.

In a second microwave safe bowl combine the shortening and peanut butter chips and microwave on medium heat for 1 minute, check the peanut butter chips by stirring it, if not melted you can turn on again for 30 seconds. Check and stir again. Repeat if necessary. The peanut butter chips should be smooth.

Spoon each one alternately in lines on the pan you line with parchment paper. Just add it randomly, doesn't need to be any rhyme or reason to it. Continue until all the melted chocolate and peanut butter is on the sheet. Now take a butter knife and start to pull it through the colours to create a marble effect. I like to do mine in lines and pull straight through. I like the look of it. But design yours any way your little heart desires.

Hope you get a chance to try this. It’s spectacular. I love chocolate and peanut together. It’s a flavour combination classic for a reason.

You can swirl this any way you like. Grab a knife and just go to town. Make patterns and enjoy the process. Then inhale the whole batch in 1.399 seconds.

Thanks for letting me share some memories of my dad today. Some days he’s on my mind a lot. Especially when I bake because he loved sweets so much. I miss being able to run new recipes over to him to try. He was always a willing taste tester. I miss that. Bonding over chocolate, it was kind of our thing.

I encourage you to go bond over some chocolate with someone today. You’re not just making treats, you’re making memories. That’s everything in life.

Thanks John. It’s odd because I would not say I’m a peanut butter person, I never eat just peanut butter. My brother does, right out of the jar. But for me I only like it in baked goods. It’s weird I know. Once I bake with it I can’t stop eating it.

Hey Regan. Great question. Unfortunately using just peanut butter wouldn’t work. Bark is essentially chocolate mixed with other things. My suggestion would be to find white chocolate chips and mix some peanut butter into it. I’d melt about 1 and 1/4 cup white chocolate (or even milk chocolate, it just won’t look quite the same) then mix in 1/4 cup peanut butter. Stir until it’s smooth, then proceed. I’ve not tried doing it myself, but I think it would work perfectly.
